post-magic

We constantly yearn for something magical, exciting and out of the ordinary to spice up our mundane lives. But after something amazing happens, it is difficult to come to terms with the harsh reality that whatever it was is over, that it will forever be a distant memory (and may even be dismissed by others as a figment of our imagination upon recollection in future), that our lives go back to being mundane from now on. The lingering, bittersweet aftertaste of magic is an addiction far worse than the most potent of drugs.
